DMX Decelerator...

[Kings]

In the past I've noticed that some 'cheaper' fixtures dont work well with more expensive lighting desks. It appears to be a problem to do with the DMX output rate. The Jands Vista that I use doersn't allow you to vary the rate so a friend sent me the following link:

"The DMX Decelerator is a DMX512 isolator and re-timing device. It can receive any signal within the DMX512 specification and it can accept some signals outside of the specification. It produces a DMX output signal with “relaxed” timing characteristics which are required by some DMX receiving devices. "

Might be worth thinking about if your having problems with your chinese fixtures?

Taking this a step further we're adding this functionality to our ultraDMX Pro product but with user configurable timing so you can run as fast as the fixtures are capable rather than just "slow".
